00:00Let's follow the path of Dusty's Trail. Oh, Dusty's Trail, Dusty's Trail.
00:08A stage and a wagon are heading west. Part of a wagon train lost from the rest.
00:16Dusty's the reason for their plight. Thanks to Dusty, nothing's right.
00:24Only the wagon master's hand keeps them a-rollin' to the promised land.
00:32Oh, the goin' gets mighty rough, but they don't seem to mind.
00:37It's California, eh, that's the place they must find.
00:43Deserts and rocks are in their way, but they won't stop, come what may.
00:51Mountains and hills that they must scale, but they know they'll make it,
00:56cause they just can't fail on Dusty's Trail.
01:21What do you think you're doin'? Let me go!
01:48Put me down, I'm not goin' anywhere without my underwear.
01:53Would you mind turning your heads?
01:57Okay, I'll turn my head.
02:01Pale face, pale all over.
02:04Except for Mark of Half Moon.
02:23Here you are, fellas, see you later.
02:49Hey, look here, boy!
02:51Hey, where's Dusty?
02:52Well, I don't know, he's probably out there wandering around someplace.
02:55Wandering around? You think Freckles threw him?
02:57Yeah, well, he went out there to set some traps.
02:59We've been a little low on provisions, you know, and if I know Dusty,
03:01he probably got caught in one of his own traps.
03:04Poor Dusty!
03:05Now, don't worry about it.
03:07We'll organize a search party and go out and get him without Freckles.
03:10He can't be very far away.
03:12Hey, you gonna show us where he is, old buddy, huh?
03:25Many moons have I waited for this moment.
03:27Great Chief, remember tribal saying,
03:31Hope may stand tall,
03:33but disappointment stands tall.
03:43Listen, what's going on here?
03:44I was taking a bath when all of a sudden two of your braves...
03:46Silence!
03:47Before you, stand chief of all moonies, Full Moon.
03:51Oh, well, howdy, Mr. Moon.
03:56Listen, my friends are expecting me to bring back provisions.
03:58I gotta be going.
03:59You not know why you here?
04:00Sure I know why I'm here.
04:01Two of your braves grabbed me when I was skinny dipping.
04:03Skinny, only way you can dip, skinny.
04:05Tell him.
04:10Many moons ago, chief had baby son.
04:14Then, in famous battle of Antelope Horn, baby disappeared.
04:17Gee, that's really a shame.
04:19Chief's sad.
04:20Not sleep, not eat.
04:22But always think one day, son will return.
04:25How would you recognize him?
04:26Very simple.
04:28I wouldn't help, most kids are very simple.
04:30I mean very simple for Full Moon to recognize son.
04:33Papoose get burn by ash from campfire.
04:37Have mark in shape of half moon.
04:39Oh, mark in shape of half moon, where?
04:41On back.
04:42You mean here?
04:43More down.
04:44You mean here?
04:45More down.
04:46More down, you mean?
04:49Half moon on sitting down place.
04:51So long, fellas.
04:54So chief, what do you mean, take off my underwear and everything?
04:57Open rear door.
05:05You have ash mark.
05:06Yeah, but I got mine a different way.
05:08How?
05:09How?
05:10Oh, you mean how I got that scar?
05:11It was just a little baby, then all of a sudden I just have...
05:14Son.
05:16Daddy?
05:26Yeah, he must have stopped here to wash off the trail dust.
05:29You don't think he...
05:30What, drowned?
05:31Now he couldn't even swim.
05:33He wouldn't get over his knees, besides that's not deep enough.
05:40Horses, two of them.
05:41One of them carrying double.
05:42Indians?
05:43Yeah, only tribe around here is Maunese and they're friendly.
05:46I don't understand it.
05:48We better go back and tell the others.
05:49All right, but be careful.
05:51Because Dusty's been out there setting traps.
05:53And if there's one thing Dusty knows how to do...
05:55Yeah?
05:56Is setting traps.
05:58You're telling me.
05:59As soon as we get out of this mess, we go in the Maunese camp and hold Dusty out of there.
06:04Meantime, just hang around here, somebody comes rescue us.
06:11I'm so embarrassed I could die.
06:14What if somebody sees me?
06:16Who will recognize you?
06:17No one can see your face.
06:20Dusty, how is it your skirt stays in place?
06:24I'm a Brookhaven.
06:28Me, the long lost son of the chief?
06:30That's loco.
06:31Prepare him.
06:34Prepare him.
06:36Hey, I don't need a bib.
06:37You know, I just don't need one.
06:38Don't put that thing...
06:39That's a pretty low bib.
06:43I've been a pale face all my life.
06:45Honest.
06:51I ask you, do I look like an Indian?
06:53Mark of Half Moon cannot lie.
06:55You must take rightful place next in line to chief.
07:12This Half Moon, son of Full Moon, chief of all Maunese.
07:22Have no fear, my son.
07:23This is Whoop of Welcome.
07:25Whoopee.
07:26Where is Pale Cloud?
07:34My son, this is Pale Cloud.
07:37Someday, she will be your bride.
07:40It is to her when both are purposes.
07:43Pale Cloud rejoices at safe return of beloved.
07:49We will wed when the corn is green,
07:51and make love when the corn is ripe.
07:54Well, I guess I'll stick around till harvest time.
08:02This is Laughing Crow.
08:04How come he's not laughing?
08:05Laughing Crow laughed all the time
08:07when he was next in line to chief
08:09from Mr. Pale Cloud.
08:11Now somebody else take my place.
08:14Laughing Crow, why you not welcome my son?
08:17If Half Moon true son,
08:19then Laughing Crow have welcome.
08:22If he false son,
08:23then Laughing Crow have revenge.
08:26Show him.
08:27Oh no, not again.
08:34See, Mark of Half Moon.
08:38Maybe Mark come off.
08:39Listen, Laughing Tree.
08:40Crow.
08:41Crow.
08:45Skin come off, but not Mark.
08:48My son is true son.
08:50Is that not true son?
08:52Well, sure as my name is Half Moon.
08:58Dusty must be in there someplace.
09:02Let's go, Mr. Callahan.
09:07Yeah, he must be one of those teepees.
09:09I'll sneak in there and have a look.
09:11And if you see any sign of danger,
09:12hoot like an owl.
09:14Hey, that's a good owl.
09:33One day, my son,
09:35all of this will be yours.
09:38Imagine that.
09:39Me, the son of an Indian chief.
09:40Could only happen in America.
09:50Great Chief.
09:51I've captured two pale faces.
09:53Cops spying on camp.
09:55You see, Half Moon,
09:57money everywhere.
09:59Yeah, you got to watch out
10:00for them pale faces all the time.
10:01Dusty.
10:03My name is Half Moon.
10:04Who are you trying to kill?
10:05What are you doing in that getup?
10:07Tell him, Dad.
10:08Him, Half Moon.
10:09Long lost son of Full Moon.
10:11Next in line to Chief.
10:13Dusty, a morning Indian?
10:14If he's a morning, I'm Pocahontas.
10:16He has Mark of Half Moon.
10:18Unsit him down, please.
10:20Shoot him.
10:21Oh, no fun.
10:22They've already seen it anyway.
10:24Great Chief,
10:25how we deal with pale faces, cops spying?
10:28My son,
10:29now it's time to show leadership.
10:32Very wise.
10:33Chief of all mornings.
10:37You will decide faith of pale faces?
10:40Well, they seem like a decent sort.
10:41Let him go.
10:44Set him free?
10:46As a gesture of goodwill
10:47and in celebration of my return
10:48to my father's land.
10:50Wisdom passed down from father to son.
10:57You'll never get used to that.
10:58Dusty, what about the wagon train?
11:00Oh, yeah.
11:01I mean, we need you, little pal.
11:02You do, really?
11:03Yeah.
11:04I mean, who's gonna, you know,
11:05collect the firewood and do the cooking
11:06and take down the laundry
11:07and repair the harness
11:08and feed and water the horses?
11:11Westward ho, pale face.
11:13Tell you, you got the wrong guy.
11:14Dusty is not Full Moon's son.
11:16He was born in Schenectady.
11:17How many Indians do you know
11:18who were born in Schenectady?
11:19Many.
11:20Schenectady is Indian word.
11:22Means end of trail.
11:24Why couldn't I have said Philadelphia?
11:27Half Moon has been proclaimed
11:28son of Chief.
11:29Well, then unproclaim him.
11:31I'm telling you, he is not an Indian.
11:32He is an imposter.
11:34If Half Moon is imposter,
11:36he will be dealt with
11:37according to tribal custom
11:38for imposters.
11:50You sure you want to do this, Mr. Callahan?
11:52Anything to save my little pal.
11:55Here, Andy.
11:56You put that coal up on the barrel.
11:58I don't want to see what I'm doing.
11:59All right.
12:01All right.
12:07Make sure that coal
12:08is shaped like a Half Moon.
12:09I got it.
12:11Looks just like the Half Moon on Dusty.
12:13Yeah, well, I figured
12:14the same Half Moon in the same place
12:15on a couple of felons
12:16would be just enough
12:17to confuse off the Indians.
12:19I know the Dusty do.
12:20Same for me.
12:23Yeah!
12:26Oh, that sparks.
12:28That took a lot of courage.
12:31Say, which side
12:32is Dusty's Half Moon on?
12:34Well, the last time
12:35we went swimming,
12:36he was on the, uh...
12:38Gosh.
12:39I don't remember.
12:41Well, I sat down
12:42on the right side.
12:43I mean, supposing
12:44the right side's the wrong side
12:45and the left side's the right side.
12:46I see what you mean.
12:47I mean, if we're going
12:48to establish some doubt
12:50in Full Moon's mind
12:51about Dusty being his son,
12:54we might need another volunteer.
12:56You mean, uh...
12:58Andrew?
13:00Be seated.
13:07Oh, my dear,
13:08you're late for tea.
13:09I'm sorry about that.
13:11I've just witnessed
13:12the most amazing event.
13:14I couldn't believe my eyes.
13:16I hesitate to tell you
13:17about Mr. Callaghan and Andy.
13:19Oh, please, Carter.
13:21But you're such a...
13:22a cultured person
13:24and so very delicate.
13:25Oh, dear.
13:26One hears so very little
13:28gossip these days.
13:29Oh, very well.
13:30Close your eyes.
13:33Mr. Callaghan and Andy
13:35actually...
13:42I dare say
13:44they were giving their all
13:46for their friend.
13:53Honest what?
13:56Andy, too?
13:59Wow, I'm glad
14:00the chief didn't have a daughter.
14:07Oh, what courage.
14:10What devotion.
14:11What blisters.
14:14Half Moon.
14:18Half Moon,
14:19why are you not out
14:20hunting and fishing?
14:21Of course, it's more fun
14:22sipping and swinging.
14:23Oh...
14:26Are you sure,
14:27are you sure,
14:28Half Moon, my son?
14:29You saw ash mark.
14:30All tribes saw ash mark.
14:32Are you sure,
14:33Half Moon, my son?
14:38Oh, hey, Laughing Bird.
14:39Crow.
14:40Crow, you dropped your spear.
14:41There's challenge.
14:44How dare you
14:45challenge a son of a chief?
14:46If you are true son of chief,
14:49then son must be able
14:50to defeat any man in tribe.
14:52Any man?
14:54I choose him.
14:55Not him.
14:56Me.
14:58Go ahead, Half Moon.
14:59Contest will prove
15:00you are my son
15:01or false imposter.
15:13How do you think
15:14we should approach them?
15:16Very tenderly.
15:18Like variety.
15:20It's too bad
15:21we couldn't have walked.
15:22Move away, men.
15:24Here you go.

19:17Bring back bear skin.
19:19What about him?
19:22He wrestle bear after you.
19:24You lose.
19:25Laughing crew not have to fight.
19:28May best bear win.
19:39How long I had to wait for a bear to show up?
19:41Not long.
20:03It's okay, little pal.
20:05It's okay, little pal.
20:08Huh?
20:09Don't you recognize my voice?
20:11Oh, my gosh, the berry, Mr. Callaghan.
20:21Boy, you dirty, rotten bear.
20:23You know, if you're only supposed to eat berries and honey, I'd fight.
20:26Maybe a bear is sick.
20:31I've got him.
20:34I don't have him.
20:36Hey, cut it out, pal. I'm Callaghan.
20:38Well, the voice is familiar, but I don't recognize the fur.
20:40Dusty, I'm not a real bear. I'm Callaghan.
20:43Where did you get the bear skin?
20:45It's Mr. Brookhaven's, one of his prize trophies.
20:48Oh, boy, am I glad to see you.
20:54Start fighting. They're looking at us.
20:57Hey, not you.
21:00Okay, Dusty, knock me down and make it look good.
21:09Half Moon have defeated Bear.
21:11Then Half Moon must be true, son.
21:14What do you say we make it two out of three?
21:16No, Dusty, no, no.
21:20See? Now Bear's imposter.
21:23See? Now Bear's imposter.
21:25Half Moon, cheat.
21:34Oh, now, really?
21:36Don't argue with an ice-cap man. Now, go on.
21:48Half Moon now passed death.
21:51Half Moon, not true son.
21:53Half Moon imposter.
21:55Now we treat imposter in tribal manner.
21:58And friends of imposter are now not set free.
22:01Hey, Chief, why don't you just take me and let all the rest of them go, huh?
22:05Full Moon, let all go.
22:07It is gratitude for proving Skinny is not my son.
22:14It's a glorious day for tribal history.
22:16Set them all free.
22:21I don't know how to thank all of you folks.
22:23Hey, welcome back, little pal.
22:26Let me tell you, Mr. Callahan,
22:28having a Half Moon scar on your sitting down place can get you in a lot of trouble.
22:31You're lucky you don't have one.
22:43Dusty, I ain't called us to your attention, but the coffee is boiling over.
22:48Sorry, Mr. Callahan.
22:50Well, sorry ain't gonna get it.
22:52Now, first of all, you clean up that mess.
22:54Then you got the dishes to do, horses to water and feed,
22:57the Brookhaven coach to clean out and pick up the laundry.
23:00Now get hopping.
23:01Boy, it sure wasn't that way when I was the son of an Indian, Chief.
23:06That's the way it was.
23:17THE END
